June 8 - Join The Parrot Club on Tuesday, June 8 at 7 pm ET for a talk by science writer and naturalist Rosemary Mosco about her journey to combine art and science. Rosemary makes books and cartoons that connect people with the natural world with humor and accuracy. She admits that birds are her favorite subject and she even lives with two green-cheeked conures! You’ve all seen her “If You Find a Baby Songbird Out of the Nest” comic that gets posted frequently this time of year. Her Bird and Moon nature comics were the subject of an award-winning museum exhibit and are collected in a book that’s a 2019 ALA Great Graphic Novel for Teens. She co-wrote The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid, a New York Times Best Seller. Other books include Birding is My Favorite Video Game, Solar System: Our Place in Space, Butterflies are Pretty…Gross!, and the upcoming A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching. She speaks at birding festivals and writes for Audubon and the PBS kids’ show Elinor Wonders Why. When she’s not writing, she’s out in the field doing some “some very amateur photography” and trying not to feed the mosquitoes. You can see her cartoons at https://www.birdandmoon.com and more about her books at https://rosemarymosco.com/.
